Wells Sisters Giving More Finishing their terms as Chair and Vice Chair of the FARGO Board this summer, twin sisters Stephanie Jones ’06 and Melanie Jones Parker ’06 have remained active in the life of Wells since graduation. Members of the FARGO Board since 2006 and 2008, respectively, and officers of the Board since 2010, Stephanie and Melanie helped to lead the Board’s reengagement in fund-raising for Wells, as well as taking on active roles in the Board’s programs geared at retention and building community among students and alums. Stephanie and Melanie served as fund-raising Co-Chairs for FARGO giving campaigns, presenting the case for young alum giving through letter and email appeals and also personally contacting classmates to encourage support. Stephanie returned to campus to speak at the Class of 2010 senior class gift reception, and both sisters volunteered their time this past Reunion weekend to raise money for the College through the sale of ivy plants and wristbands. Their service to Wells becomes even more impressive when considering that both were finishing doctoral programs throughout their terms leading the Board. This past spring, Stephanie completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at Syracuse University, and Melanie earned her Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from Yale. “We have enjoyed working with and for Wells College to give current and future students the same rewarding and memorable experiences we will forever share with our classmates,” said Melanie and Stephanie. “Wells has a truly amazing network of alumnae and alumni, and it has been a pleasure to meet and work with so many of you on FARGO Board, on the Association Board, and at various campus events.”
